Beecher.
The great preacher lay upon his back, as If
in sleep, his features very little changed from
What they We're in life. Dressed in broad
cloth as on the platform, with snowy linen
and black tie. the remains recalled the living
man with startling force; and this was
heightened by the fact that the hands were
not crossed stiffiy, as is usual, but the right
lay naturally on his breast, just as we often
saw it lie when he paused in his oratory and
dropped for few sentences into the CONVEX
sational tone. Except that the lower lip was
compressed and the chin had that waxen ap-
pearanee often noted in the embalmed, the
countenance was very natural; the cheeks were
almost ruddy and the forehead quite life like.
The coffin is of red cedar, covered with
the finest French broadcloth and lined with
pale satin. Such in brief is the general APP
peaIance of the great man in his last sleep.
And when looked on the face of the dead
and turned away, the surroundings seemed
more than ever appropriate: the huge audi
ence room was a perfect bower of rose and
evergreen, lily and snilax; the reading desk
ON one side of the platform, the chair made
of wood from the Mount of Olives on the
other, and between them the great column Of
that chair and the stouter one ordinarily used
by Mr.. Beecher were beautifully swathed in
pink roses and vines, smilax and various
white flowers. No doubt it was all as he

Cured this morning; but only pew holders
and those specially invited could be ad-

of some kind have been almost continuous
since the death was announced. From all
sections of the United States came resolutions
of regret from various public bodies and ex-
pressions of coincidence to the widow and
family. In the law courts, common council
and all schools and churches here some action
has been taken. Orders were passed closing

where the body lay; only modest wreath of
roses and immortelles by the door and the pres
ence of two policemen indicated anything I'M
usual. 1t was his wish and was most faith
fully observed. But everywhere else officials
and citizens were free to follow the usual Gus
tom occasions of similar character. BY
order of the council the city hall was heavily
and most beautifully draped. The square
windows at the top We're half covered with
black, each corner draped so as to leave
small square of undraped glass in the CEN
ter. Similarly the long windows below were
each draped at the corner so as to leave a
diamond shaped expanse of clear glass i'll the
center. Broad bands of black also extended
along the entire front of the building, between
each tier of windows and along the cornice.
The court house near by is also draped in
similar style. The Garfield building, so
called, large business block southwest of
Che city hall, was draped with a simplicity
and appropriateness that attracted general
attention. Besides the narrow bands of
liAck at the corners of the windows and the
usual lansiIlss, L.. wuoie of the vast arched
double door and window on the lower section,
was covered with black, drawn in
regular folds 10 the center, and there
;;tnIassive circular wreath of immorteii s.
uott,aL with small and snowy lilies to relieve
the somber color of the wreath All thes
and many other decorations were completed
Wednesday, but Plymouth church did not
take on its setting for the funeral services till
much later, and there all was strikingly
different. 1t was the unanimous wish OF the
menhtrs of Mr.. Beechers church, as well as
of his fllnily, that the adornnents should ie
tht-e s,,ii able to happy release from earth
aud a hope of blessed Immortality rather
than the somBer signs of woei and SO it was.

Wh"n the public were admitted yesterday
to tile chllrci. to view tin, body lying i'll state,
they saw a most unusual sight-one of rare

pleasing nor inappropriate. Plymouth church
bu,ies her dead pastor as she firmly believes

rouadings of bridal rather than of a fu-
neral. In striking contrast with the extreme
plaimess of the building are the forid, the
almost tropical array of brilliant flowers,
pale lilies, palms and eyergreens The front

upon low stand directly III front of the
platform where his eloquent voice has been
heard so many years Back of the bier,
rising from 4 the foot of the platform
to the very ceiling, is All immense bank of
flowers and eyergreens, concealng almost the
entire front of the organ, yet seeming to add
sweetness to its solemn tones as they float out
apparently from openings in floral bower.
On each side of each window around the ell
tire room, is a large evergreen shrub; between
them, against the wall, are narrow banks of
brilliant flowers Around the entire front of
the gallery is solid covering of flowers,

Judge Hulett has an antiseptic process
which may be applied with positive results. to
either D. oceSs to prevent decomposition.
When applied to the casket method the rough
box must be six inches longer than the coffin,
An opening two by six inches must be made
under the coffin lid. This may have slide,
and only be opened as the casket is lowered
into the grave The only object of the open
ing is to permit free circulation of air over
the body In the space left between the
coffin and the rough box the antiseptics are
placed Two ounces of fiogr of sulphur is to
be mixed with a small quantity nf powdered
charcoal and placed on plate. A few
spoonfuls of alcohol are added and before
the lid is screwed on the substance is to be
ignited. The concentration may then be con-
tinued. The fumigation will continue until
the oxygen gives out and their combustion
closes The aiE win be changed to su!pburic
acid gas, and the affinity of this vapor is such
that at temperature of sixty degs. the gas
will draw all the moisture out OF the body.
If the antiseptic application is desired for
the nude method the body may be subjected
to it for eight hours in a separate receptacle
before the cement is applied. n III.
In September, 1880, Judge Hulett made an
experiment with his antiseptic bath. He
treated tine hind quarter of a lamb for ten
hours, and then hung it up in his office, fully
exposed, where it may still be seen. There
have been no changes except from shrinkage,
and the odor of mutton is as perceptible as
when taken from the market The flavor and
taste are unchanged after more than six years
of exposure.

The prakeman.s Christmas story.

HFunny things occurred down at our house

almost every night in the year, but Christ

the wife and the babies. Next door to us
lives one of the stingiest old codgers that ever
was Wheeler is his name, and everybody
calls him Stingy Wheeler. He is an old chap
who has no children and no friends, and who
is said to be worth a good deal of money.
I've had good deal of sickness in my house
this winter, and times have been right hard
with u.s. 1t was mighty little Christmas we
had, / can tell you.
90 Well, there's one thing we can say,
Henry said my wife to me, 'and that is that
our house is not hard to warm. 1t beats all
the way coal does last us here. That half ton

in this neighborhood I'd suspect of stealing
coal, and that's Stingy Wheeler. wouldn't
trust that old codger very far
"'Ncither would I, said my wife.
"'rhat night, after we had got in bed, my
wife woke me, saying she was sure she heard
some one in the coal house.

full, Henry, and don't get into any trouble
with the old skinfint, she added, as / hastily
dressed myself.

sure enough there was man there, hard at
work with shovel, it was Stingy Wheeler,
and he was throwing coal from his bin into

SOME FACTS ABOUT PlEcEwoRK

How Compositors Earn Largely Increased
Wages-Disastrous Results.
We believe it to be a fact, as old printers
have stated to US, that men working ut type
setting nowadays do almost twice as much
work for the money comparatively as they
did thirty-ive years ago, before the universal
adoption of the piecework system. Then
they worked by the week, and no man tried
to see how much of machine he could make
of himself. But with the introduction of the
piecework system it became another business.
Upon the number Of types picked up de-
pended the amount Of money made. Some
men by making mere machines of themselves
hooking their noses into the space box
and concentrating theil whole energy and
nerve force on that one thing-becamc rapid
compositors and were enabled to earn largely
increased wages. Other printers who did
not care about making mere machines of
themselves were forced to do it or so to
something else, for as men developed speed
prices for composition fell, forcing men to
renewed exertions to maintain reasonable
rate Of wages.
To-day the system is one of excessive exer-
tions and greater rapidity than ever before
attained; any ordinary compositor is doing
y
not more. and yet it is only by the aid of a
powerful and aggressive organization-their
union-that printers manage to keep wages
slightly above what they were in that day.
And what has been the result! If any one
has anything to say against the printers lethim
lay it to that fact. We believe and maintain
that the present system of competition and
excessive toll in ali branches of business and
trade tends to drive men to liquor, insanity
and suicide, and the more you increase the
exertion the stronger is the tendency in that
direction. Men who so completely exhaust
themselves as those engaged in piecework do
feel the need of stimulant, especially so il
working at night.
The night compositor does not get rested
by his forenoon sleep, but comes to the office
feeling weary and nerveless He finds that a
glass or two of beer or a drink of whisky
seems to arouse the vital force. Perhaps
after supper the same sensation is dispelled
the same way, and again near midnight, and
when morning comes he feels unable to climb
the hill to his home without "big bowl"
OF course it may be years before he comes to
need so much stimulant but it is apt to grow
on him. Extremes beget extremes. The
man who works excessively is apt to play ex-
cessively That is the trouble in all forms of
employment in this fast age. Boys and men
do not have enough time for recreation, and
attempt to crowd into one day enough fun to
last them month. Thus arc bad habits and
dissolution sown among workers by overex-
ertion as fatally as the same vices are sown
among the children of wealth 10y idleness. -

The Friend and Champion of


Nothing in modern times has shown the
increasing liberality of religious denomina-
tions as have the expressions called out by the
death OF Mr.. Beecher. All creeds and all
churches unite. Peculiarly affecting are
the testimonials received from Rabbis Isaac
Schwab and S. H Sonneschein, of st.
Louis, expressing to Mrs. Beecher the
sympathy and sorrow of the Israelites
of that city. Even from the south and from
those who were once the fiercest political en-
emies of Plymouth and its pastor come the
most touching expressions of condolences; and
surely no man ever did more to create this
broad catholicity of spirit then did Mr..
Beecher. Around his grave it was ap-
prepriate indeed that all sects and races
should unite in sorrow. His life preached a.
sermon of love and good will to all men, and
the expressions at his funeral attest
the effect. II the people were to
announce to-day what particular truth
Mr.. Beecher's sermons and lectures had most
impressed upon them, no doubt the majority
would say: He taught us to accept as truth
and feel as reality the apostles statement
that God made of one blood all nations that
dwell on the face of the earth. His was no
narrow and selfish creed He was emphati
brother of the common people; he planted
himself on principles of humanity that were
uniform and universal To his mind oppres-
sion in Ireland or Africa OF anywhere in the
world was just as bad as oppression of
his friends and neighbors in Brooklyn.
The poor and oppressed felt it while
he lived and mourn him when dead. So not
Grape, but roses and forgetmenots, hang on
his door-it symbols of the hospitality of his
house and heart.
Mr.. John T. Howard, the Oldest surviving
member of Plymouth church, many years
ago gave one-half of his large lot in Green
wood cemetery to Mr.. Beecher, and in it lie
the remains of his children who died in
Brooklyn; but it is proposed to-day to secure
a burial place ON one Of the commanding
sites in the cemetery, where the church viii

out and arranged in strict accordance with
plans designed by himself; and the house is
regarded by all his intilnateS as delightful
literary retreat ~
His taste inclines to the forid and majes-
tic, and his residence abounds in Venetian
stained glass, old time suites, japanese and
Indian cur1os, men in armor, inlaid cabinets
and massive chairs richly covered and
adorned. Under frescoed and painted cell
ings the effect is striking. Plants and flowers
of all climes and seasons are brought into
reguisition; and almost every Musical instru-
ment known can be seen, there being special
collection of gongs, Chinese bells, mandolins
and guitars. In this profusion Of luxury
amid these articles of virtu, the great Zola
entertains his friends among whom is Al
phonse Daudet, with whom he is most intiIn-
ate. Here they throw of all reserve, and lola
is the merriest and chattiest of the group-a
thorough man of society, totally uulike the
reserved and taciturn writer only known to
the public His conversation is singularly
fascinating. He tells of the dark days Of his
early struggles, and of the attacks AMI criti-
cism from which he suffered-tells Of it with
out bitterness, only to contrast it with the
happiness of the present.
The place has great historic interest too.
Medan is just near enough to Paris to be easy
of access, and yet rural in tone; and has be-
longed to Parisians for many centuries. As
early as $50 A. D. it was part of seignorial
domain. In the fifteenth century a sue
ce.sfnl money lender bought this part
of it, restored the castle and built a
church both remaining to-day as he left
them. Since the sixteenth century the place
has been celebrated for its beauty of woods
and waters. Here Zola really lives and here
he does his best work, in the early morning.
After his writing he takes lunch, dresses in
the negligee costume shown in the portrait,
and d-votes the middle of the day to instruct
ing his workmen or strolling about his place.
His evenings, when not engaged for opera or
some special work, are given up entirely to
rest and social enjoyment. Such is the almost
ideal literary mans life lived by Emile Zola.
